Mrs. and Mr. Smith

More importantly, the distance between the two was too close, and Jordan Richards had no time to counterattack!

All he could do was quickly cross his arms in front of his face to withstand Ethan Smith’s punch.

“Boom!”

This punch landed solidly on Jordan Richards’ arm.

In an instant, Jordan Richards’ figure was sent flying backward, and his arms were numbed!

If it wasn’t for the Black Gold Stone protecting his body, this punch would have probably broken his bones!

“You dare to say one more word, and I’ll kill you!” Ethan Smith’s eyes were wide with rage, and his ferocious face was terrifying to behold.

Jordan Richards’ face turned slightly cold as he shook his arm, sneering, “Already so impatient? Heh, it’s just the impotent fury of the incompetent.”

“You dare to speak!” Ethan Smith stepped forward, and his terrifying aura erupted in an instant!

Jordan Richards’ expression turned cold, and he said coldly, “I see you’re seeking death!”

As the two were about to clash, Dudley Lynch slowly walked over.

He stood between the two, facing Ethan Smith, and said with a faint smile, “Mr. Smith, after all, Captain Richards is our team leader and our senior, you should at least show some respect.”

Ethan Smith narrowed his eyes and sneered, “Dudley Lynch, what kind of nonsense are you spouting now?”

Dudley Lynch didn’t get angry. He leaned back with his hands behind him and slowly said, “Not only are you disrespectful, but you also resort to violence. This is the reason why they look down on us, you know?”

“You sure are full of shit.” Ethan Smith walked step by step towards Dudley Lynch.

“Two despicable colluders, talking to me about some noble principles? Do you think you’re qualified?” Ethan Smith yelled.

Dudley Lynch sneered, “To be honest, after losing to you last time, I’ve been reflecting on my mistakes and practicing day and night.”

“Now, I’ve made some progress, and I really want to test your skills, Mr. Smith.”

Upon hearing this, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but laugh, “Alright, you escaped last time, but let’s see who can save you this time!”

After saying that, Ethan Smith bellowed, and the Absolute Beginning Sacred Fist immediately rose, aiming straight at Dudley Lynch!

Dudley Lynch refused to be outdone. He moved his hands quickly in front of him, conjuring a black Inner Strength!

“Pff!”

Ethan Smith’s fist slammed heavily into the energy, but the expected clash didn’t happen.

That energy was like a ball of cotton. The moment Ethan Smith touched it, the force from his body vanished.

It felt like throwing a punch with all his strength only to hit a pile of cotton.

Dudley Lynch sneered, “It seems that Mr. Smith doesn’t know what ‘use softness to conquer strength’ means.”

Ethan Smith stared coldly at Dudley Lynch and squinted, “Dudley Lynch, your physical body seems to be rather fragile. All your abilities rely on that thing inside your body, right?”

Dudley Lynch stood with his hands behind his back, neither admitting nor denying it.

“All you can rely on is his immense Inner Strength for support. In other words, you’re nothing but a puppet now.” Ethan Smith sneered.

“Are you even qualified to be called the Number One Person of Central Plains, being this kind of walking corpse?”

Dudley Lynch sneered, “History only remembers the winners, no matter what means they use to achieve victory.”

After dropping this sentence, Dudley Lynch turned to look at Jordan Richards and respectfully said, “Captain Richards, I request to fight Ethan Smith.”

Jordan Richards had been waiting for this moment, and Dudley Lynch was obviously speaking deliberately for him to hear.

“You may.” Jordan Richards said lightly.

“Young people should engage in more competitions and learn from each other.”

Seeing this, Dudley Lynch’s mouth curled into a cold smile.

“If I win against him, I will be ranked fourth, right?” Dudley Lynch asked.

“Of course.” Jordan Richards nodded.

“Good!” Dudley Lynch immediately looked coldly at Ethan Smith.

He was wrapped in a layer of black energy, which appeared like a fluid, slowly surrounding him.

“Screw you, instead of challenging the aristocratic family of the Capital City, you want to fight your own people. Let me deal with you!”

At this moment, Frederick Cohen suddenly stepped forward and stood beside Ethan Smith.

His whole body was burning with vitality, and his fierce body was red all over.

It must be said that Frederick Cohen lived up to his name and was incredibly impulsive in nature.

Dudley Lynch glanced at Frederick Cohen and said coldly, “You’re not even worthy to compete with me. Furthermore, who said you’re my own people? Get lost!”

Furious, Frederick Cohen yelled, “I don’t want to be your own people either. Try eating my fist first!”

Frederick Cohen’s moves were flashy, relying only on his fierce physical strength.

However, the result of his punch was the same as Ethan Smith’s: his fist sank directly into that mass of energy, dissipating all his power instantly.

“What the hell is this? If you’re a man, face me head-on!” Frederick Cohen yelled.

Dudley Lynch coldly said, “You really don’t know how to die. I don’t mind killing you first!”

“I’m not afraid of your half-human, half-ghost, sissy self!” Frederick Cohen roared.

Ethan Smith pulled Frederick Cohen aside and shook his head, “This is between me and him, Frederick. Stand back.”

Frederick Cohen frowned and snorted coldly, “Fine, after you’re done, it’s my turn to clean him up!”

Ethan Smith ignored Frederick Cohen. He knew very well that the Dudley Lynch in front of him was not simple.

His strength would not be weaker than any elegantly dressed young man present.

“Ethan Smith, I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time.” Dudley Lynch squinted his eyes.

“Everyone says that the chaotic body is invincible among its peers. Today, I’d like to experience it for myself.”

Before his words fell, Dudley Lynch launched his attack.

With a wave of his hand, the black energy surrounding him exploded towards Ethan Smith!

This power was invisible and seemed to be soft Inner Strength, but when it reached Ethan Smith, it transformed into a fierce fist!

Ethan Smith dared not slack off and immediately clenched his fist to strike back!

However, the moment Ethan Smith’s fist collided, the energy once again turned soft, wrapping around Ethan Smith’s fist!

“Boom!”

Before Ethan Smith could react, another wave of energy transformed into a fierce form and landed heavily on his side!

The enormous impact sent Ethan Smith flying!

“This is both hard and soft combined, specifically designed to counter people like you with strong physical bodies.” Dudley Lynch said sinisterly.

Ethan Smith stood up from the ground, looked at Dudley Lynch coldly, and furrowed his brow slightly.

The Inner Strength surrounding Dudley Lynch was extremely peculiar. It made every punch Ethan Smith threw feel like he was hitting air, and the sensation was very uncomfortable.

“Ethan Smith, it’s time for you to pay the price!” Dudley Lynch snorted, focusing his mind, directing the mass of energy to shoot at Ethan Smith once more!

Ethan Smith’s eyes narrowed, his whole body burning with vitality. He was wrapped in a spiritual fire, purple and gold blended together, exuding an overwhelming pressure!

“What softness overcoming hardness? As long as the power is strong enough, it can break anything!” Ethan Smith roared.
